From Kitplanes:

 

"Garmin announced it has received approval of a CASR 175.C Data Service Provider (DSP) certificate from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), enabling expanded aviation database coverage in Australia. In addition to the integration of Airservices Australia data into the suite of Garmin databases, Garmin Pilot™ within Australia has also expanded to offer additional data and supports connectivity between Apple mobile devices and compatible avionics in the cockpit, including wireless flight plan transfer. Pilots can now take advantage of these new databases in Australia within Garmin Pilot, as well as in a new, cost-effective PilotPak database bundle on the flyGarmin®website."

How much are they charging

I did up a database of Certified airports and ALA's for the Dynon Skyview and Garmin G3X systems last year. Once installed, they show up as User Waypoints, and are displayed on the map. If you don't fancy paying for Garmin's aerodata and only fly VFR, it's a cheap alternative, and you can keep them up to date yourself.
